Chapter two hundred and twenty seventh potential change
Champion Hou did not admit defeat. After experiencing the initial meaningless anger, he gradually calmed down and began to instruct the ministers to make a real counterattack.
The first minister to act was Jiang Juying, the Minister of War. The general Han Xing was of higher rank, but he had no power to act arbitrarily. Major military orders must be reported to the Ministry of War in a timely manner, and then transferred to the emperor by the Ministry of War. In this process, if the military order is wrong, the Ministry of War can return it and ask for correction. When the error is very obvious, the Ministry of War can also directly reject this order.
The so-called mistakes are usually caused by inconsistent words and sentences, ambiguous semantics, making taboos, etc., and just correct them. In extremely rare cases, a sentence in a military order will have obvious ambiguity. At this time, the Ministry of War can temporarily reject the order without reporting it to the emperor.
The officials of the Ministry of War gathered together and read the military orders sent by the general repeatedly. They were so memorized that they could not even pick out the mistakes of the strokes. After a whole night, the Ministry of War still wanted to reject the military orders. The reason was very simple: the seal was unclear, and it might be a forgery.
This is a ridiculous reason. Unless the general himself brought the seal back to Beijing in person, no one can prove that the seal is true. The Ministry of War really cannot imagine that it will tear the face and do such a thing.
At the same time, the Ministry of War must issue documents directly to local garrisons, prohibiting generals from implementing military orders.
Before dawn, Donghai King came to knock on the door, with the help of "Guanghua Tigers" and his information was very well-informed.
Han Ruzi only had about an hour to stop the Ministry of War. This was the short sword connection between him and the champion Hou, which was faster than the quickness of his eyes and hands.
The Minister of War Jiang Juying was intimate with the Cui family, and King Donghai had sent someone to contact him. Jiang Juying only replied with one sentence: "The responsibility lies, regardless of personal affairs."
Yang Feng immediately went to find Guo Cong. A large number of scholars in the capital who were famous were already ready to go, just waiting for someone to show their heads. The Ministry of War was the first to bear the brunt.
Half an hour later, the Ministry of War was surrounded by a group of bare hands and bare-handed scholars. They blocked the door and did not allow anyone to go out. They shouted Jiang Juying's name and asked him to come out to confront him and explain why they should stop all places from providing relief to the victims.
The Ministry of War was only a hundred steps away from the south gate of the palace. The guards were patrolling back and forth without interfering.
Jiang Juying sent people to fight twice, but these scholars were either bachelors of the Hanlin Academy, or disciples of the Imperial College and the Imperial College. The soldiers did not dare to really take action, and they did not have the advantage in quantity. Both of them ended in failure.
The scholars gathered more and more. After the sky was bright, another group of old men came. One of them was white-haired and was supported by his disciples. His hands were trembling. He read a "broken friend letter" in public, breaking the relationship between his teachers and students and Jiang Juying.
The more things got worse, even the other departments and government offices around were implicated, so they had to close the door and simply stop working, so as not to rush in to the scholars
During this period, several teams of soldiers came to try to drive away the troubled scholars. However, they failed. Instead, they were expelled. The Eighth Battalion of the Guard did not allow anyone to bring weapons to the palace.
Han Ruzi was not idle. Soon after dawn, he went to see King Ying with King Donghai.
The person who looked at the qi beside the King of Ying was named Yuan Zifan, and they met the visitors together.
Han Ruzi brought a petition, hoping that the various ministries and departments would like to pay attention to the people and not prevent local governments from opening warehouses and releasing grain, and promised that they would never be held accountable for dereliction of duty in the future. Han Ruzi and King Donghai had signed and stamped, and came to invite the King of England to join.
Before King Ying could wake up, he sat on the chair and yawned constantly, asking for pens and seals, and wanted to send his two nephews away. Yuan Zifan smiled and stopped King Ying, and then argued with the visitors in a verbal dispute.
"Although he is a prince and grandson, he has no real official position. When he was fighting for the throne and elected emperor, how dare he interfere in the affairs of the court?"
"The government is stagnant, and it is the time when the children of the royal family serve the emperor. Since the King of England is one of the participants, he should take the opportunity to become famous, so why are he left out of the matter?"
"What are the famous ones are Juehou and King Donghai, what are you with King Ying?"
"The so-called follow-up trend, we two build momentum, and the King of England takes advantage of the momentum, and we have left a blank space. The King of England is the elder, and the seal is in front of us, so we will not fight."
"Since it's good for everyone, why not look for Champion Marquis first?"
"We are just thinking that we first meet the King of England, which means to show our elders. If the King of England is interested, we will be the leader of King of England and go to see the Champion Marquis together."
"The King of England is young and will not participate in this matter."
"Since you can participate in the throne and elect the emperor, how can you say that you are young?"
Han Ruzi and King Donghai gradually gained the upper hand. As a savvy person, Yuan Zifan is good at taking advantage of the situation. He thought he could easily defeat two young people, but he was not expecting to be defeated and was about to lose. His face couldn't help but turn blue and red.
Han Ruzi suppressed Yuan Zifan, and the King of Donghai turned to attack King Ying, whispering him to make decisions, "You are the son of Emperor Wu. If you want to be the emperor in the future, you have to practice the one-word and nine-calf-shaped tripod now, and you have to make your own decisions on everything."
"King Ying, don't listen to him talking nonsense." Yuan Zifan responded to Juehou and also paid attention to King Ying. He was even more panicked and regretted that if he had known this, he would have refused to see these two people.
The King of England was persuaded to jump to the ground and shouted: "Go to meet the Champion Hou together and ask him why he has hidden wine, meat and food, and refuses to take it out!"
"Yes, I have to let him explain it clearly." King Donghai tried hard to instigate him, regardless of how many mistakes the King of England had in their understanding.
After all, Yuan Zifan was just a gaze and could not directly interfere with the decision of the King of England. The servants were ready and immediately gave him a pen and ink seal. The King of England waved his pen and wrote down his name crookedly, which was even more sloppy than Han Ruzi's handwriting.
Then the uncle and nephew left the mansion and went to the Champion Hou’s Mansion together.
Before leaving, Han Ruzi bowed to Yuan Zifan and said, "When you follow the trend, the situation has been completed, why is Mr. Yuan not going well?"
Yuan Zifan laughed and set off. He met Lin Kunshan halfway. He looked for King Donghai everywhere and had already traveled to several places. As soon as he met, he smiled bitterly: "Why did King Donghai leave me and travel alone?"
"I see you are sleeping soundly and I can't bear to disturb you. Come on, go see Champion Hou together."
The team gradually expanded, and the news was spread. Many unexpected people joined in. The actions of the general and scholars obviously sent clear signals to the royal family and nobles. Many aristocratic families sent people to support Juanhou, King Donghai and King Ying, but they were more cautious. The parents did not come forward and sent out young children. Many of them were soldiers of the noble camp under Juanhou's command, and they didn't take long to return to Beijing.
In name, the core of this team is King Ying. He walked at the forefront and did not recognize the road. He was guided by Juehou and King Donghai on both sides. The little guy rarely went out, so he was very happy, jumped and jumped, and shouted from time to time: "Champion Hou handed the food!"
The children of the aristocratic families understood who was the real leader. After joining, they all greeted Juanhou. Some even met with military salutes, but they still regarded him as General Zhenbei.
The mansions of the princes were not far away. When Han Ruzi and his group arrived in front of the mansion of the champion, the team had expanded to more than a hundred people, followed by many servants and a larger number of people. This was a rare strange thing under the feet of the emperor, and everyone wanted to see the excitement.
Han Ruzi and Donghai King deliberately slowed down, stopped a few times in the middle, introducing the King of England to the newcomers, making the child happier.
They are giving champion Hou time to react.
Yang Feng's evaluation of Champion Hou is that he has few plans and many decisions. He often makes mistakes because of inadequate considerations, and then blames others. Therefore, he cannot make a sudden attack on Champion Hou. In a shock, he may make a decision to lose both sides, give him some time and let people around him persuade him more. Once the anger disappears, Champion Hou will go to another extreme: throw the mess to his subordinates and just blame him.
At almost noon, the group came to the gate of the Champion Marquis' Mansion and blocked half of the street. They responded to the scholars in front of the military department. It was hard to say which side had a stronger voice. However, the people in the gate of the Champion Marquis' Mansion were more polite, and did not shout or rush around. A large number of prayers were delivered to the gatekeeper and asked him to hand them over to the Champion Marquis.
The champion Hou had just married, and the lanterns, wedding couplets and other items on the Hou's mansion were still there. Hundreds of people stood outside, like guests coming to congratulate him, but they were not holding gifts in their hands.
As Yang Feng expected, Champion Hou had already received the news. After experiencing rage, curses and a series of chaotic orders, he calmed down again, and timidity arose. Champion Hou finally discovered that the entire court did not support him as firmly as he hoped. Most people were actually still waiting and watching. Champion Hou was temporarily dominant, and the ministers showed loyalty. When the Champion Hou lost power, they immediately showed a fence.
Prime Minister Yin Wuhe, who has always kept Prince Ju, claimed a few days ago that he was sick and could not go out of seclusion. The left censor Xiao Sheng and the right censor Shen Mingzhi were the most active in front of the champion Hou and were also the supervisor. Without an imperial edict, they had the greatest power, but they refused to come forward to stop the release of food. Instead, they persuaded the champion Hou to endure for a while.
Jiang Juying, the Minister of War, could not stand it, and the champion Hou could no longer resist it.
For the sake of face, the champion Hou refused to meet Juenhou and others. Lu Congxin, the one who looked at the aura, had to leave the house alone. He knew the current affairs more clearly than Yuan Zifan. He did not argue with the visitors, but instead greeted him with a smile, claiming that the champion Hou was in charge and could not come out to meet him, but he was completely consistent with Juenhou, King Donghai, and King Ying, thinking that the issue of the food was big, the sooner the better, and no one could stop him. What the Ministry of War did disappoint the world.
The uninformed Minister of War Jiang Juying was betrayed and became the target of public criticism.
Lu Congxin brought the petition into the mansion and asked the champion Hou to sign and stamp it. The position was tied with the King of England, higher than the King of Juenhou and the King of Donghai, and then left the mansion to return the petition.
In fact, everyone knows that since the palace refuses to approve the memorial, this petition has nowhere to be sent, and no yamen will accept it. It is just a statement.
The team turned to the Ministry of War. After walking a few streets, the King of England recognized the road and ran very fast. For him, it was an unforgettable and wonderful day.
The news always runs faster than legs. Jiang Juying in the yamen finally heard about the surrender of the champion Hou. He was shocked and reacted quickly. He immediately ordered his subordinates to go out and assured everyone that the Ministry of War would never refute or denied the general's order. Everything was a rumor. With the help of his followers, he climbed over the wall and ran away. When he returned home, he really fell seriously ill and did not go out for a long time.
Han Ruzi won another victory, but like the two armies that had been confronting for a long time, the battle would continue until one side was defeated and withdrew, Han Ruzi was far from winning.
Yang Feng felt that the time had come, so he suggested that Juehou start to win over the ministers. The first goal was to Xiao Sheng, the Zuo Cha Censor who was most resentful to Juehou. It is not to be continued.
